"MOH Why dont they do....."

.....a WW1 version?
I have been studying WW1 and i've always wondered why they never do a WW1 game, i personally think WW1 is much more interesting than WW2, much more people died in WW1 and although they didn't have better guns than WW2 they did have much more action. Does anybody think they should do a WW1 version and do you think they'll do a "War on Iraq" Version?

They'll do a war in iraq version in a few years time, probably.

It is interesting as to why there has never really been a WW1 game, at least on the ground like a COD style game. It is also odd seeing how WW2 was in fact fare more destructive, had far more deaths and was far more horrific in terms of human power and evil, despite your comments.

Well actually im not sure so well done, you got me there!

Forget about WW1 for a min, do you think WW2 games are getting a bit too classic and do you think they should make another war game, they could make a game about a war that doesnt exist.

What, like humans vs Aliens? THey've done that in Halo, PD, HL, Doom etc.

Hurrah for game based trench-warfare.

Er, maybe because the Society of the Congressional Medal of Honor was only created in 1946?

More soldiers died in WW1, yes. I think, overall, more people died in WW2, because of the death camps, and what happened in Russia (something like 6 million civilians were killed)

A WW1 game wouldn't work. They had to take big liberties with games like MOH to make them FPS friendly, with WW1 it was nearly ALL trench warfare. You'd sit around, not doing anything for hours, then be sent over the top and get shot. That'd be the end of the game. Wow, exciting!

I think in terms of overall cost, more soldiers did die. I know less British soldiers died, but in relation, more US and Commonwealth soldiers died.

And Russia lost 20,000,000 people, Germany nearly 8,000,000, not to mention the Holocaust. Japan and China would of also suffered huge losses.
